Random Not Shiny

I'm posting a bunch of graphics I've made over the years as I slowly start to get more and more into art, both hand-drawn and digital media. Below are my least favorite ones - I don't really like these, but other people do, so I'm posting them.


Badly Blond Merlin

This was just me trying to turn black hair into blond. I know better by now how to do this, of course, so I'll try a different version later to make it work. But the current result does look kind of funny and it makes me laugh.



Colin Morgan's Lips

Another experiment, I think the color of Colin's lips were too pale to make this really work as a "monocolor graphic", as his lips almost seem to blend into the background, rather than standing out.



Merlin's Eyes

Also the result of an experiment - the coloring worked, but in this version his eyes are too dark for this to work properly, as are Nimueh's in this one:

Nimueh's Eyes



They're On (a) Horse(s)

Fun, but also tacky.



Attempted Valentine's Day Card Background

This one is just highlighting the boys while fading the background without actually making it black and white. Did Not Work.



Merlin and Arthur

This one just feels awkward - colored in skin in an otherwise black and white photo always feels awkward to me, like this:

Merlin's Hands

(Though that one does create a slightly 3D affect)

I'm not a big fan of it, but a lot of people do seem to like it.
